Q1 revenue jumps 20% at Coffee Holding (NASDAQ: JVA)
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Coffee Holding Co., Inc. reported a strong start to fiscal 2026, with first quarter revenue rising 20% to $25.566 million, up from $21.305 million a year earlier. Net income improved to $0.29 per share, compared with $0.20 per share in the prior-year quarter.

Management links the earnings improvement to reduced tariff-related costs and consolidating into one East Coast manufacturing facility, which should lower ongoing overhead. Strong sales across private label, branded, and green bean segments suggest demand is broad-based, though coffee price volatility and macroeconomic headwinds remain important external factors.
The combination of higher revenue and improved profitability represents a meaningful positive data point for the company’s operating trajectory this fiscal year, while future quarters will show how sustainable these gains are amid volatile coffee markets and changing economic conditions.

Coffee Holding Company Reports First Quarter Results.
STATEN ISLAND, New York – March 16, 2026. Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (Nasdaq: JVA) (the “Company,” “our” or “we”) announced its operating results for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026.
We are pleased to report to our shareholders the following:
| ● | 20% increase in revenue for our first quarter of fiscal 2026 | |
| ● | Sales increase to $25.566 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $21.305 million in the same period in 2025 | |
| ● | Net income of $0.29 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $0.20 per share during the same period in the prior year |
“With the majority of the tariff fees and expenses behind us, combined with the efficiencies of operating only one east coast manufacturing facility instead of two, we were able to markedly improve our profitability this quarter.
Sales remain strong in all three business segments; private label, branded sales, and sales of green unroasted beans to smaller regional roasters” said Andrew Gordon, President and CEO of the Company. “Although coffee markets continue to remain volatile and the macro-economic situation is facing new challenges, we believe that our core businesses remain strong and we should be able to continue to deliver positive results to our shareholders,” concluded Andrew Gordon.
